Earlier, on March 11, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that oil supplies from Russia to Hungary via Druzhba had been suspended due to an attack by a drone of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the measuring station of the pipeline. The foreign minister stressed that Budapest regards Kiev's attack on the infrastructure critical for Hungarian energy supply as an attack on its sovereignty.

Fuel supplies resumed on the same day after the damage was repaired.
